# There's a cure for that...
...take a look at how much you spent on your license for PhotoShop.

I do actually have some licensed productivity software now. I have Final Cut Pro HD, worth £700, Didn't pay for it, someone else did and they never picked up the package for six months.

*Edit* Bastard thing won't work on my Power Macintosh, because it looks for an AGP video card and I only have PCI-Express. Stoopid Apple.

# I'm still using FCP 5 with my powerpc
based mac. It works just fine. Alternatively, Shake is now cheaper than a cheap thing advertised at a very low price :-)

# I still use CuBase 2.0

# surely there is some method for it to work with
a PCI-Express card.

# I found a sort of workaround
but it involves editing KEXT files and all sorts of shite. I'll see if it works on WiL's G4 PowerBook before I give up. It might run on my iBook, but on a 700MHz G3 it's likely to be pretty pokey.

I had a fantastic G4 PowerMac (533MHz Digital Audio) but it was a little bit too slow for my liking so I replaced it with a Dual G5.

# Still.
Surprising,as most boards nowadays don't come with AGP.

# Nope PCI-Express is faster
and pretty much standard now.

# Sorry.
I meant surprising the program was pretty new and would only run on older technology, as PCI is the obvious winner in terms of speed etc etc etc.

# AGP
was pretty much a bridging technology, It was fine in its day, but was a highly compromised design. Almost all G4 PowerMacs used AGP graphics (except the original Yikes! logic board). The very first G5 PowerMacs used AGP, but it was supplanted by PCI-Express a few months after my copy of FinalCut Pro shipped.

# Pff.
Japan has had HD Analogue broadcasts since 1990.

# It's Final Cut HD PRO version 6 I think.
I could cross-grade but I'm not spending any money on a free £700 application.
